Alabama fan shot dead outside football party because she said she didn't care Crimson Tide had lost to bitter rivals Auburn

Charged: Hoover, Alabama Police charged Adrian Briskey, 28, Monday with killing a fellow Alabama fan after the end of last weekend's Iron Bowl football game

An Alabama fan was shot dead after a fight outside a football-watching party shortly after the Crimson Tide lost in a stunning upset to the Auburn Tigers Saturday.

Michelle Shepherd was attacked by fellow fans of the University of Alabama after she commented that she didn't care that much that the team had lost, her sister says.

Police now say Shepherd was shot by 28-year-old Adrian Laroze Briskey outside an apartment complex near Birmingham just moments after Alabama lost to archrival Auburn in a last-second thriller.

Saturday's 34-28 loss to in-state rivals the Auburn Tigers in a remarkable last-second touchdown means Alabama lost its No. 1 ranking and, likely, its chance to play for a third-consecutive national championship.

Ms Shepherd, a mother of three and a
career social worker from Birmingham, attended a party to watch the Iron
Bowl with other Alabama fans in Hoover, Alabama with her sister Neketa
Shepherd, Neketa told the Birmingham News.

After
the game, Ms Shepherd - a major Miami Heat fan - commented that
Alabama's loss to Auburn wasn't as bad as when the Heat lost in game
four of the 2011 NBA finals.

Neketa Shepherd said the other party-goers didn't take kindly to her sister's remark.

When they tried to leave the gathering, they were confronted by a crowd of angry Alabama fans.
